Linux_Mint_Main Won't Run

[DrPolkatronic]

I'm new to Linux and thought I'd give Mint a go. I installed Mint as a Windows program (would that be Wubi??) and played for a couple of weeks. I like Mint pretty well but I want to look at other distros and want to uninstall. I opened the Windows Control Panel, selected Uninstall a Program and clicked on Linux_Mint_Main. Windows shows a "busy" icon for about 1 second and that's it! Mint does not uninstall. I realize there are a few ways I can uninstall the software but I thought I'd ask the forum first in case this was a bug, and ya never know, I just might learn something.

Some details:
Windows Vista Premium 64 bit, Service Pack 2
Linux Mint 7 Gloria (32 bit)
Intel Core 2 Quad
4GB RAM
Two 360 GB hard drives (Mint installed on second drive)

As I said, I'm new to Linux so I'm not sure what other information would be useful. Any help is appreciated.

Have you checked this guide? It contains uninstall information.

jaspmatt,

thanks for the link. No, I hadn't checked it because I wasn't sure if Mint used Wubi or something else (did I mention that I'm really new to Linux?).

I tried downloading a newer uninstaller but that didn't work either so I ended up removing Mint manually. I suspect that Vista x64 SP2 is giving the uninstaller hiccups, but what the heck do I know?

Anyway, thanks for your help.
